Several tens of sikrikim continued violent protests in Jerusalem and Monday night, the eve of 2 Iyar. They tried to close down a major vehicular route, Chaim Bar-Lev Blvd. – Shivtei Yisrael Street. Police on the scene were stern and determined not to permit them to close the road. One of the sikrikim was placed under arrest, reportedly for striking a policeman.

The protesters began burning garbage bins and then blocked the Jerusalem light rail, explaining their actions were in response to the arrest of a female by IDF authorities. She is a baalas teshuvah whose new lifestyle is not recognized by the IDF.
